My name is Chantelle Spies, and I am a 24-year-old Chemical Engineer and dog mom, struggling with a chronic illness known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS). As an engineer, it is in my nature to want to solve complex problems and optimize processes – my health has proven to be no different. I do as much research and reading as possible to equip myself with knowledge and information to help manage my disease.Beside me every step of this journey is my two little guardian angels, Nemo and Bolt, and my wonderful family. The odds of finding a full remission is slim, but I will continue to search for my root cause and ways to improve my health and wellness. I am an overachieving perfectionist, with a bubbly and humorous personality and strive to bring hope to my fellow spoonies.

I’m Sara and I have Crohn’s disease and a rare disease called, Chronic Intestinal Pseudo Obstruction. I also had my entire large intestine removed and live with a J-pouch but prior to that lived with a temporary ileostomy.
